THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 920:170803. [PMID: 38342448 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/06/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
Novel tourmaline-biochar composites (TBs) were synthesized by introducing tourmaline (TM) into pomelo peel biochar (BC). The surface properties of TBs and BC were studied and the adsorption performances for Pb2+ were investigated. Compared to pristine BC, the adsorption ability for Pb2+ on TBs was enhanced with the increase of TM in TBs, and up to 514.62 mg/g on 5%TB. The enrichment of inorganic metals caused by TM in TBs made the precipitation and cation ion exchange become the main mechanisms in adsorbing Pb2+, and the amounts of adsorbing Pb2+ by those two mechanisms on TBs were 1.10-1.48 times and 1.20-1.30 times those of BC, respectively. Furthermore, applying TBs to practical contaminated soil increased the soil pH and electrical conductivity (EC) after 15 days of incubation. The increased content of residual-Pb and reduced exchangeable-Pb and DTPA-Pb indicated that TBs were favorable for the immobilization of Pb in soil. This study gives a new perspective on the synthesis of tourmaline-biochar composite and their application in Pb-polluted water and soil.

Abstract
Dye pollution in the aquatic environment can harm ecosystems and human health. Here, we developed a new green adsorbent by applying an improved drying process. Diatomite was embedded in a network structure formed between chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol without using any crosslinking agent to prepare chitosan-polyvinyl alcohol-diatomite hydrogel beads through alkali solidification. The beads were tested for removing a cationic dye (methylene blue (MB)) from water. The structure of the adsorbent beads was analysed using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption capacity was investigated, and the results indicated excellent MB adsorption properties. The adsorbents had a rough surface and high swelling capacity of 66.9 g/g. The maximum MB adsorption capacity was 414.70 mg/g, and the adsorption followed the Freundlich isothermal and quasi-second-order kinetic models. The adsorption was an endothermic spontaneous process governed by both intra-particle and external diffusion processes. The proposed adsorption mechanisms involved hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. These adsorbent beads have considerable application potentials owing to their high adsorption capacity, green composition, and non-polluting nature.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 344:118497. [PMID: 37413726 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023]
Abstract
The heterogeneous Fenton-like systems induced by Fe-containing minerals have been largely applied for the degradation of organic pollutants. However, few studies have been conducted on biochar (BC) as an additive to Fenton-like systems mediated by iron-containing minerals. In this study, the addition of BC prepared at different temperatures was found to significantly enhance the degradation of contaminants in the tourmaline-mediated Fenton-like system (TM/H2O2) using Rhodamine B (RhB) as the target contaminant. Furthermore, the hydrochloric acid-modified BC prepared at 700 °C (BC700(HCl)) could achieve complete degradation of high concentrations of RhB in the BC700(HCl)/TM/H2O2 system. Free radical quenching experiments showed that TM/H2O2 system removed contaminants mainly mediated by the free radical pathway. After adding BC, the removal of contaminants is mainly mediated by the non-free radical pathway in BC700(HCl)/TM/H2O2 system which was confirmed by the Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In addition, BC700(HCl) had broad feasibility in the degradation of other organic pollutants (Methylene Blue (MB) 100%, Methyl Orange (MO) 100%, and tetracycline (TC) 91.47%) in the tourmaline-mediated Fenton-like system. Possible pathways for the degradation of RhB by the BC700(HCl)/TM/H2O2 system were also proposed.

Abstract
Metallogels represent a class of composite materials in which a metal can be a part of the gel network as a coordinated ion, act as a cross-linker, or be incorporated as metal nanoparticles in the gel matrix. Cellulose is a natural polymer that has a set of beneficial ecological, economic, and other properties that make it sustainable: wide availability, renewability of raw materials, low-cost, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. That is why metallogels based on cellulose hydrogels and additionally enriched with new properties delivered by metals offer exciting opportunities for advanced biomaterials. Cellulosic metallogels can be either transparent or opaque, which is determined by the nature of the raw materials for the hydrogel and the metal content in the metallogel. They also exhibit a variety of colors depending on the type of metal or its compounds. Due to the introduction of metals, the mechanical strength, thermal stability, and swelling ability of cellulosic materials are improved; however, in certain conditions, metal nanoparticles can deteriorate these characteristics. The embedding of metal into the hydrogel generally does not alter the supramolecular structure of the cellulose matrix, but the crystallinity index changes after decoration with metal particles. Metallogels containing silver (0), gold (0), and Zn(II) reveal antimicrobial and antiviral properties; in some cases, promotion of cell activity and proliferation are reported. The pore system of cellulose-based metallogels allows for a prolonged biocidal effect. Thus, the incorporation of metals into cellulose-based gels introduces unique properties and functionalities of this material.

An all-biopolymer self-assembling hydrogel film consisting of chitosan and carboxymethyl guar gum: A novel bio-based composite adsorbent for Cu 2+ adsorption from aqueous solution. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124878.

Abstract
A novel bio-based composite adsorbent, all biopolymer self-assembled hydrogel film has been prepared by eco-friendly amalgamating chitosan (CS) and carboxymethyl guar gum (CMGG) biopolymers in water without needing small molecules for cross-linking. Various analysis demonstrated the electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bondings within the network structure are responsible for gelling, crosslinking, and forming a 3D structure. Various experimental parameters were optimized to evaluate the CS/CMGG's potential for removing Cu2+ ions from aqueous solution, including pH, dosage, Cu(II) initial concentration, contact time, and temperature. The pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models are highly correlated with the kinetic and equilibrium isotherm data, respectively. Using the Langmuir isotherm model for an initial metal concentration of 50 mg/L at pH 6.0 and 25 °C, the maximum adsorption of Cu(II) was calculated to be 155.51 mg/g. A combination of adsorption-complexation and ion exchange must be involved in Cu(II) adsorption on the CS/CMGG. Five cycles of the loaded CS/CMGG hydrogel regeneration and reuse were successfully achieved without an appreciable difference in Cu(II) removal percentage. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that copper adsorption occurred spontaneously (ΔG°: -2.85 J/mol, 298 K) and exothermically (ΔH°: -27.58 J/mol). A reusable bio-adsorbent for removing heavy metal ions was developed that is eco-friendly, sustainable, and efficient.

Abstract
Metallogels are a class of materials produced by the complexation of polymer gels with metal ions that can form coordination bonds with the functional groups of the gel. Hydrogels with metal phases attract special attention due to the numerous possibilities for functionalization. Cellulose is preferable for the production of hydrogels from economic, ecological, physical, chemical, and biological points of view since it is inexpensive, renewable, versatile, non-toxic, reveals high mechanical and thermal stability, has a porous structure, an imposing number of reactive OH groups, and good biocompatibility. Due to the poor solubility of natural cellulose, the hydrogels are commonly produced from cellulose derivatives that require multiple chemical manipulations. However, there is a number of techniques of hydrogel preparation via dissolution and regeneration of non-derivatized cellulose of various origins. Thus, hydrogels can be produced from plant-derived cellulose, lignocellulose and cellulose wastes, including agricultural, food and paper wastes. The advantages and limitations of using solvents are discussed in this review with regard to the possibility of industrial scaling up. Metallogels are often formed on the basis of ready-made hydrogels, which is why the choice of an adequate solvent is important for obtaining desirable results. The methods of the preparation of cellulose metallogels with d-transition metals in the present state of the art are reviewed.

Contribution Evaluation of Physical Hole Structure, Hydrogen Bond, and Electrostatic Attraction on Dye Adsorption through Individual Experiments. ADSORPT SCI TECHNOL 2023.

Abstract
Disagreements over various unanswered questions about contribution of the adsorption process and functional groups on dye adsorption still exist. The main aim of this research was to evaluate the contributions of physical hole structure, hydrogen bond, and electrostatic attraction on dye adsorption. Three ideal representatives, namely, a sponge with porous structure, P(AM) containing -CONH2 groups, and P(AANa/AM) containing -COONa groups, were chosen to evaluate the above contributions. The methylene blue (MB) removal rates of these three products were compared through individual experiments. The results revealed that physical hole structure did not play a role in decreasing dye concentration. Hydrogen bond existed in dye adsorption but did not remarkably reduce dye concentration. The excellent removal results of P(AANa/AM) demonstrated that electrostatic attraction was critical in enriching dye contaminants from the solution into solid adsorbent. The results could provide insights into the dye adsorption mechanisms for further research.
